#Switchresx sierra how to#
I'm not sure what to do with those links?Īny idea how to restore my iMac screen to how it was in the first place, even if I have to abandon eGPU for now? (I can use my MBP which is actually faster but less convenient, I'm guessing because of TB3 in MBP vs TB2 in the iMac).SwitchResX lives in the Preference Pane folder of your System Library. But in any case, I don't have a problem with this monitor. Mine is 4k, not sure if that makes any difference. Also I do note that on the links you sent me, they seem to refer to Dell 5k monitors.Didn't make any difference that I could see. However, it's much better than where I was.
However as you say, it looks to be 4k and doesn't have the correct default resolutions.
#Switchresx sierra install#
Please also note that I did exactly the same procedure to install the eGPU using my Late 2016 13" MacBook Pro (only this time using pure TB3) which worked perfectly in MacOS and didn't leave me any residual screen issues.
#Switchresx sierra driver#
Uninstalled nVidia driver using it's uninstall in the utility: No change.Changed nVidia driver settings to use OSX driver instead of nVidia: No change.Changed the screen resolution via the System Preferences -> Displays: No good, because MacOS thinks the screen is 18" wide as so any changes in resolution just fit the 18" screen.Here's what I've tried to fix it (unsuccessfully) Main iMac display thinks it is 18" - eek!.External Dell display now works perfectly, including eGPU acceleration.Follow goalque's instructions to run the automateGPU script, no problems encountered.Akitio Node detected in System Report, GTX 980 TI not detected at this point.Plugged in eGPU via MDP -> TB2/TB3, powered on.Restart iMac in recovery mode, disable SIP using "csrutil disable" in the terminal.Here's what I did to get it working in the first place: My eGPU setup: Akitio Node | EVGA GEForce GTX 980 TI (Classified?) | eGPU -> Apple TB3->TB2 Adapter -> MDP on iMac | Dell P715Q external display (connected to eGPU via DP -> DP) My original setup: MacOS Sierra 10.12.3 | Late 2014 iMac 27" 5k | AMD Radeon R9 295X 4096MB Worked perfectly for my external monitor, however my iMac 27" screen now thinks it is an 18" screen, even after everything uninstalled.
Set up my new eGPU with my iMac, using goalque's automategpu script.
Got a horrible problem (now solved, but leaving this post for reference for others).
